I loved that!


Bob, you often talk about all of us tough, hard homesteading ladies. I think most women possess this spirit whether they know it yet or not. But I think our hardness does not come from guns, it comes from perseverance and determination as much as it does compassion, humility, and love.

I agree, and will add that as the generally considered weaker sex, we have a very strong will to survive and can be very creative in our perseverance and determination.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
